It doesn't matter where you say ya beenIt doesn't matter whatcha doneBut the same color blood that's runnin' through my veinsIs the color that sustains another one

I know that you might-a had a hard timeAnd maybe you thought of givin' in'Cause no matter where you stand it's not too much to lend my handYou're my neighbor, you're my brother and you're my friendMy friend (you're my friend) my friend(You're my friend) my friend - yes you are

Well I know that you might get a little lonely sometimesYou know I been down that road beforeAnd when my so-called friens were takin' each othere inI couldn't even make it through the door

So why don't you come on in (sit on down) take a load off your mindAnd I dare to choose to wear the shoes that you're inNo matter where you stand it's not too much to lend my handCause You're my neighbor, you're my brother and you're my friendMy friend (my friend) my friend(You're my friend) my friend - yes you are

I'm throwin' out that lifelineJust tryin' to spread some sunshine'Cause I got a lotta love for mankindSo why don't you call me sometime and I'll be by your side

Now hold on a minute, make sure you don't forgetI'll be there when you call me - just say whenNo matter where you stand it's not too much to lend my handYou're my neighbor, you're my brother and you're my friendOh yes you are my friend
